An environmentalist tracks the total number of trees y in a park after x years of a planting program. The line of best fit for the data is represented by the equation y = 4x + 15. What is the percent change in the total number of trees from x = 3 to x = 6? Round your answer to the nearest percent.

Answer:

44.4%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Equation of best fit : y = 4x + 15

Where, y = number of trees x years after a planting program

When x = 3

y = 4(3) + 15 = 12 + 15 = 27 trees

When x = 6

y = 4(6) + 15 = 24 + 15 = 39 trees

Percentage change in total number of trees:

((39 - 27) / 27) * 100%

(12 / 27) * 100%

0.44444 * 100%

= 44.4%
